Janitors/Maintenance workers

Practice Area: Employment and labor

Outcome: Successful

Description: Successfully represented a class of hundreds of janitors in 13 states whose overtime pay was diluted through a mathematical formula that gave the impression that overtime was paid, when in fact all janitors were paid straight time for overtime hours.
-Case was certified as a collective action by a federal judge.
-Defendant paid 100% of the overtime owed, an equal amount as liquidated damages (penalties), and virtually all of the plaintiff's attorneys' fees incurred.
